“Grayson is amazing. I recently adopted a Great Dane who had a rough start to life and need someone who can help me show him how kind people can be. Grayson is the perfect person for this. Even when my dog jumps on him, he just laughs like he's never been happier. I feel so lucky to have him to look after my pup while I'm at work.”
“So grateful for Kristen and how she communicates when looking after Rosie and Pete! She makes travel for work so much less stressful just knowing she is there for them. And they love her too! Thank you!”
“We were so happy with Ingrid! She sent us lots of pictures or our dogs and sent us detailed descriptions and stories about their day! It made me feel like My dogs were safe, happy, and loved while we were away, and I couldn't have asked for anything better!”
“Laura was a very kind and caring presence while I was out of town. She took great care of my 2 small dogs. She would drop in to let them out and feed them as I had requested. If you ever want a sitter with a tender heart and attention to detail, reach out to her.”
“She is a godsend! I have an older very timid dog that really struggles with new people. I honestly was worried that she wouldn’t go outside with the first visit when I wasn’t home. Within two days she she was totally OK with being around Jennie! Jennie has also been so kind to her and mindful, for instance, it was really hot today so she kept her in the grass instead of the pavement. She sits with her even when she’s done with the walk. I could not have asked for a better human to watch my pup! I have her on repeat for drop ins 3x every week while I’m at work and will continue to do so!”
“Jessica was very reliable and that gave me comfort while I was away from home. She sent photos and messages me updates which was also very helpful. Thanks Jessica for taking care of Maui.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have a deep love for all animals and do my best to give them all the care and attention they deserve. My schedule is flexible, so I available any day od the week. I work full time, but I am able to still meet the needs of most pets pretty well! I make sure to provide my animals with ample playtime and stimulation. I always clean up after them properly and keep anything that may be a threat to their health out of sight and out of mind!
“Ines did drop in visits with our new adult dog, Ducky, who was working on potty training. And also our other dog, Fievel. She followed the instructions on how to take both of our dogs out to potty in a way that was safe for the two of them! She gave detailed follow ups after each drop in”
About: Hi there! I'm a huge animal lover and would love to help care for your pets! I have two large dogs of my own, and have fostered dogs/puppies in the past. I also have experience with other animals (horses, chickens, and other farm animals) so I'm happy to care for any other animals you may have. I always send frequent updates and pics of your animals as I care for them, and promise to treat them as if they were my own! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to the care of your pets! I'm available weekends and weekdays, and am happy to make morning, afternoon, and/or evening visits. When watching pets in your home, they will have my full attention. I have experience caring for pets with specific medical needs, and can assure that I will thoroughly follow directions for any complex needs your pet may require. I always take the time to ensure that your pet is happy, safe, and has the time to play and get some energy out. And lastly, I promise to be extremely respectful of your space and home!
“Alex is absolutely fantastic!!! He’s taken care of our cats on two different occasions and each time has been very attentive with them. Our 16 year old cat requires a lot of medication and Alex is the only sitter we could find who would administer all meds as required by our Vet. I would highly recommend Alex as a highly qualified pet sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m McKenna and I have been pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors of mine for around 6 years. I specialize in bigger breeds as I would dog sit for a neighbor that had 2 large Bulldogs and I used to have a very large German Shepherd/Greyhound mix of my own. I also have great experience with reactive dogs, older dogs, medications and diabetic dogs. Animals are everything to me and I’d love to help you out with your fur babies which are considered family. I hope I am able to work with you soon and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you! I currently work at the Biltmore Estate but do not have a set schedule there. Please reach out to me so we can figure out if our scheduling aligns! I will try my very best to make it work :) I have a Beagle who is my entire life. He is full of energy and a professional singer! Our favorite thing to do is either cuddle or play fetch in the backyard.
About: I have over twenty years’ experience as a volunteer at local animal shelters. I work mostly with large dogs from walking to training to fostering. In addition, I have an 16yr old cat and experience with fostering kittens. In addition to taking care of your pet(s), I will happily provide care of your home as well - getting mail, taking out garbage, watering plants, etc. Happy to send you my FB page, where you’ll find reviews. I work full time Monday through Friday but am happy to stop by in the morning and at night. Each visit can be up to an hour long. I adhere to the pets’ routine and make them as comfortable as possible. This means keeping the same schedule, food, treats, and snuggles. The goal is for you to not worry about them because they’re in good hands and come back to a happy pet!
About: I've taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bird. I had my own pet sitting side business while I was in college in Tampa and have missed I ever since I moved!! I am currently looking to switch careers so my appointment book will be pretty open in the near future. I'd love for this to develop into my full time job. I am currently renting so I'm not offering boarding services. But I'm offering drop in visits not only to walk, feed, and clean up after pets but to spend some time with them so they are not lonely
About: I grew up with several pets including dogs, cats, and exotic birds and have a 6 month old blue heeler of my own. I have amateur dog training experience and by request, I can support your dog's training needs while I am looking out for them. No charge! I will make sure your fur baby receives love as though they are my own. They’ll get lots of playtime, walks and I’ll will send photo updates of how they’re doing. I currently work full time from home so it is very easy for me to be attentive and look after your furry loved one in addition to my own 6 month old blue heeler who is very sweet and friendly with other dogs. I work from home Monday through Friday during the day and this leaves a lot of flexibility to go on walks and play together on the trails right on the 10 acres of wooded land. My home is tucked away in a safe location with a lot of space away from busy roads. I live on 10 acres of wooded land and several trails that loop the entire property that allows for a lot of sniffing opportunities, playtime in nature, and staying in a safe environment throughout the day.
“Indigo was absolutely amazing! I had daily updates about how my sweet bunny was doing and was sent multiple pictures each day. Indigo gave me updates about how my bunny was getting more comfortable and when I came home he did zoomies around the room letting me know how happy he was this week. I felt so safe and comforted knowing he was so well taken care of. Will definitely be rebooking in the future for my bunny as well as my dog if I leave her next time!!”
“Ginny made sure our cats were not only fed and cleaned up after, but also played with and snuggled while we were out of town for the holidays. She’s communicative and sent lots of pictures which is greatly appreciated. We will book with her again”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arden
I wish I could give Sandra more than 5 stars. She took such great care of my sweet baby cat and loved on her with the same attention as I do. She provided excellent updates and stayed for the entirety of the time she was booked for (I have not had that same experience with a few other Rovers). I will absolutely book Sandra again for my pet-sitting needs in the future.
Jennifer was outstanding! I was really nervous leaving my babies with anyone and she came in and it was magic. I have a senior pup that needed special care and she handled her with the utmost care. From start to finish, she was there making sure she got lots of love. She went above and beyond to accommodate my pups needs and I couldn’t be more appreciative. She gave lots of love and affection and was there for every visit. I can’t recommend her enough whether you have a puppy or senior with needs, she’s the best of the best! I will definitely use her services again! A+++++. Thank you Jennifer for all you did and do!
I honestly can’t say enough good things about Luke! He is truly a dog person who goes above and beyond. From the very beginning, he’s been incredibly patient, attentive, and caring with my dog Lobo who generally prefers women over men. But my dog has easily and quickly adjusted to Luke’s visits. What really stands out to me is his ability to read dog behavior and understand what they’re communicating. He takes time to meet them where they are, respect their personality, and boundaries and never rushes him. Having Luke come by and seeing how he’s been with Lobo has been such a relief to me while I’m at work. And when I say he goes above and beyond….. he even rolled my garbage can in after he knew I had a long day of work and was coming home in a rainstorm. I honestly can’t recommend Luke enough. I’m truly grateful to have him to care for my dog! 🐾❤️
Josh was great! He was able to keep my cat Tommy well fed and entertained on a consistent basis while I was away. I appreciate his willingness to take care of him for almost a months I would definitely recommend him and hope to book him again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Arden is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,144 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Arden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arden. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
